In saying that, I'm currently looking for a new house so hopefully I find one with some space somewhere to setup a little display of some of my figures
My tips for new collectors:

1. Collect toys that you like which are currently available. Toys can get expensive if they're no longer in current production or sale.

2. If you'd like to build a large collection, then consider the possibility of allocating a significant amount of storage or display space, such as a room for your collection. I found that once my collection hit around the 500 mark it was too big to simply fit into a bedroom, so I put it into a separate room. Although I did spend about 2 years with my TFs in a study when I had about 800-900 figures. But I gotta say, it was really a Transformers room with a desk, computer and filing cabinet in it (all of which were covered in Transformers). Another massive advantage of having a collection room is that it can help to reduce dust because nobody goes in that room unless they want to look at or play with the Transformers.

Either way, good luck with your collecting!
